DEFINITIONS

During your journey with Passion Provokers, you will find there are particular words or phrases we often use. Many of these are terms you do not come across in the everyday world. When you read or hear our coaches say these words, this is what we mean...

COUPLESHIPcup | ol | shipYou have many relationships, however you only have one coupleship, and that is the unique relationship you have with your partner. True intimacy creates a private connection with one another, and having that intimacy is one of the steps towards the Coupleship you have always desired.

TRAUMAtrah | mahTypically, the word "trauma" connotes a serious situation (i.e. a major car accident, abusive experiences, etc). When we say trauma, it can mean something as seemingly trivial as experiencing the change of a younger sibling being born when you were once the only child, having to say goodbye to a childhood pet, or experiencing common forms of bullying at some time in your life.

BODY MEMORY bod | ee mem| or | eeThere is a lot of body memory attached to our actual memory. Body memory is the concept that the body itself is capable of storing memories, as opposed to only the brain. The idea of body memory is a belief frequently associated with the idea of repressed memories, however it can also explain why you may feel a very specific way during specific times. For example, let's say that while Anne was growing up, her favorite time of year was the month of her birthday. Perhaps this is because her parents would shower her with attention during this time in her life, whereas other times of year, she felt as though she was easily ignored. It is likely Anne would forever feel attached to that particular month, and even act exceptionally happy. The opposite is also true - if you've experienced some form of trauma during a specific time, it is likely you may feel "unexplainably" angry, depressed, anxious, etc.

OXYTOCINox | ee | toe | sinOxytocin is a powerful hormone. When we hug or kiss a loved one, oxytocin levels drive up. It also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. In fact, the hormone plays a huge role in coupleship bonding. Oxytocin receptors are expressed by neurons in many parts of the brain and spinal cord, including the amygdala. The most common assumption is that you need more sex to produce more oxytocin, but the latest research tells us that you can also create more by simply holding your partners hand or touching each other (i.e. hugging or cuddling).
